Memphis enters with one of the stronger offensive profiles in the matchup, scoring 36.1 points per game with 280.5 passing yards and 227.8 rushing yards per game. Army’s offense is driven almost entirely by the ground game, as it averages 35.3 points per game but only 74.9 passing yards while rushing for 345.7 yards per game. Defensively, Memphis allows 23.8 points and 378.5 yards per game, while Army allows 22.1 points and 374.0 yards per game. The contrast is straightforward: Memphis is the more balanced and explosive offense, while Army relies on ball control and tempo to keep things close.
Memphis has the more explosive offense and the better passing attack, while Army’s run-heavy approach should help it control pace but not necessarily keep Memphis from scoring efficiently. The best value position is Memphis Tigers team total over 33.5, with the Tigers projected to land around 37 points in a 37-24 Memphis win. That outcome aligns with Memphis’s superior per-play offense and Army’s defense allowing substantial yardage and points.
